QFF Launches Energy Initiatives for Queensland Farmers
The Queensland Farmers’ Federation (QFF) has announced new energy initiatives to support Queensland farmers with reliable information on energy matters relevant to their farms and the state's renewable energy transformation.
Energy Information Service for Landholders
This free phone service provides comprehensive information on energy issues, including government and industry support, energy engagement opportunities, tariff options, on-farm energy-saving initiatives, emerging technology solutions, funding opportunities, and energy infrastructure coexistence.
With numerous changes in the tariff space, there can be real financial gains in regularly reviewing whether you are on the most appropriate tariff, and this service can assist with that.
This initiative is funded by the Queensland Government under the Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan. Visit Energy Information Service for Landholders
Queensland Ag Energy Hub
An online resource hub designed to help farmers navigate their energy needs. The hub offers energy-saving tips, case studies, resources, and toolkits, searchable by industry or location. Visit: Ag Energy Hub
